      GREAT NEWS! Incoming Alabama Senator Doug Jones just became THE ONLY DEMOCRAT in the Senate to hire a Black Chief of Staff. This is the most important position on a Senate Staff. He is going to officially name Dana Gresham later today.pic.twitter.com/kxApgGtBvV

      Sorry, no. I knew someone would try this tactic. Unfortunately, Shaun's lie was refuted immediately by those on Doug Jones' staff. SK pretends to have great contacts and insight. Really, he is a fearmongerer preying on cultlike followers.

      Not a rumor. I spoke to many about very specific preferences, people, candidates, etc. We felt this type of pressure was very necessary. Not a single Democrat had a Black chief of staff before today. I stand by everything.

          Some people aren't on social media 24/7. It might take days for the source to check her Facebook mentions. When I hear from her, I'll pass it along. :-)

          Doesn't mean I won't accept the proofs, looking forward to it, honestly. Gotta stand behind my ideals and my words else I'm nothing. If the truth can destroy something then it should, but if you don't get said source, you'll likely forget again. But that will be your problem then

          I would've also assumed Jones would have had an all-white staff, considering his attitude towards "bipartisanship" (pandering to the racists that voted for Moore) & the fact that people of color are appointed to these types of positions. I'm glad he decided to represent his /1

          He never does say who these "many" were whom he consulted. We do know, though, that it wasn't Jones's people. He tries bluffing his way through this answer by saying a bunch of nonsequitors, and people read into it what they want. He should've said what you did, "I assume."
